Measured REE using four methods in 14 participants.
| Method | REE (kcal/day) |
|---|---|
| Vmax | 1472.3 ± 279.3 |
| MedGem® | 1452.9 ± 386.0 |
| HBE (calculated) | 1412.8 ± 165.4 |
| MSJ (calculated) | 1381.7 ± 168.3 |
Values are mean ± SD. MedGem–Vmax ρC = 0.80, 95% CI 0.55–0.92; HBE–Vmax ρC = 0.56, 95% CI 0.19–0.79; MSJ–Vmax ρC = 0.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.07–0.75. Abbreviations:REE = resting energy expenditure; HBE = Harris Benedict equation; MSJ = Mifflin St. Jeor equation; ρC = Lin’s concordance coefficient.
